They sure made a world of difference in my car...
Even just putting around they changed the whole dynamic of the car.

Most the experts say stiffen, suspension, breaks, then power.

I didn’t follow this but I had to do a rebuild on the engine, too much power the car cant handle it.

Some people don’t like the idea of spending cash on something that does not put more HP to the wheels but in reality the stiffening is pretty cheap and better handling will increase your ability to use the power.

I couldn't agree more! When you stiffen the car and put a better suspension the car may not go faster but you will feel much more confident in driving it fast because it's predictable. I have Wilwood superlite 6 piston brakes in front and will be putting superlite 4 pistons in back. Once that is done then the engine will get some love but to me the 4.6L has plenty of torque to squirt you out of situations other than head to head which you shouldn't be doing in the street anyways!
